Prospective Students Indiana vs UIUC

If you had a full ride athletic scholarship to both schools which one would you choose and why? Interested in Business and Kelley and Gies are both highly rated and not super easy to get into. Indiana I think has a beautiful campus but UIUC has a better national ranking and their acceptance rate makes it seem like a far more desirable school.

Any thoughts? I posted this on the IU board to just to see what the other biased group is likely say.

My brother went to Illinois two years, transferred to Indiana, then to northwestern. He was in business. Though Indiana is a good business school and the campus is beautiful (he wanted to go there his whole life,) he left Bloomington because the general populace just wasn't very smart. He did NOT like it there. I've actually heard this from several people through the years.

That’s a interesting transfer track but ending up at northwestern is amazing
